Lowest Hardware Running Vista Premium

Heres the idea, you post what low end hardware you have and are still able to run Vista with the Aero effects on.

Only post if your machine isn't top of the line with the fanciest hardware.

Key spots to look at are low memory, old graphics card, and slow processors.
 
Well I'm running Vista RC2 on a Laptop which has:

Pentium 4 2.53
512MB RAM
Geforce 4 go 420 32M
Old slow 4200rpm hard drive


OK so I can only choose the Vista Basic look due to my video card but it still runs fine if you don't load too many programs into the background and/or you use Readyboost. I'd say Readyboost is a great feature - am currently using it on a flash drive (using 512MB of it). Really does make day to day usage smoother. The only slight annoyance is that whenever you start the computer you have to wait for it to copy stuff from the hard drive to the flash drive, but then I suppose you've got hibernate and standby.
